So things are only cool when they're not mainstream?

Finally, been waiting anxiously for this release. Hopefully, the full update will be out shortly. It kind of sucks they still don't have gapless, but at least I can still use Rockbox for that.

I must say, I'm a bit let down with the choice of glossy plastic cover...   Quote: Probably closer to the cost of what the 32GB microSD card cost when it first came out, considering we still have a long ways to go before we can physically fit 2TB of flash memory into that small of...

  Quote: Of course it does, but that's why I'm interested in how the D3 would fare.

I would hope very soon, but if Cowon is indeed working on a Gingerbread update, then I'd prefer they take their time this time around and make it a polished upgrade. I was playing with Gingerbread on my friend's Droid X and it is noticeably faster; it makes me curious to see what it would do for...

  Quote:   I considered the J3 for some time, but again, the D3 as a superior video playback device, plus its browser and Android support, made the decision between the two fairly easy. At least, it was easy considering the frequent firmware updates that were constantly improving on the...

  Quote: Likewise. I'm enjoying my D3 for its sound and video capabilities. The browser and other apps are really just icing on the cake, and even the browser is adequate for me. If I cared solely about Android, I would've gotten a smartphone by now.   As for getting a D3 over a J3...

Wish I could have made it to this one, sounds like there was a lot of nice headphones to try out. Bummer.

Does the Android Marketplace hack allow you to automatically keep your apps up-to-date?

Definitely interested. I currently listen to a lot of electronica and trance and occasionally a bit of rock or metal.   My setup is nothing fancy; nearly 100% FLAC files from either my laptop or desktop, or from my iPod 5.5G. I also just picked up a Cowon D3 as my new media player. My...

Received mine today, as well. I will begin using them, but a review will have to wait likely until next week due to current school activities.   I would like to thank Comply once again for sending these out. :)   Edit: As of April 9th, delayed another week or so due to awful, awful...

Whoa, there! No need to be so specific.

Ah! That's more like it! Good ol' Rockbox swoops in to save the day. Which version are you using? Was it straight from the Rockbox for Android port? And final question, as I can't remember if it was previously stated, have you experienced any audio playback issues using lossless files?  ...

So...the weekend came and nearly went...   Any final verdict on Rockbox and gapless? I'm anxious for any news, here!

  Quote: Agreed. I certainly don't see the need for critical listening while on the road, assuming one could even pull it off with all the road noise. The desire for better quality listening, for me, comes when your car speakers are as bottom-tier as they come. My parents' cars have...

I agree that you don't need to go out of your way for the highest possible sound quality while driving, but I can tell you with full confidence that even the stock iBuds put out far greater sound quality than my vehicle's sound system. I used to just burn CDs to listen to with my car's CD...

Why would you need complete focus to find enjoyment in the music?

Whoops, my bad. Clearly I haven't taken a very close look at the earlier players.

How exactly did Cowon treat Android updates on the D2/D2+? There's all these remarks about when or if the D3 will be updated from 2.1, but my impression so far in regards to the D3 has been that Cowon's tinkered with the install so much that they probably wouldn't bother moving to Froyo or...

I'm curious where you've found the information on the D3's processor speed. I've been unable to find any specific details regarding the D3's hardware specs.

So no gapless, then? Dang. Guess I'll be be buying the....*shudders*....iPod....   Well, thanks for taking a look. :)

Sorry to keep pushin' it, but will you be testing Rockbox? You kinda seem to have ignored it....so I don't know if you just don't like it or have something against it or what. If I can get gapless playback somehow, I might actually get myself a D3 over the iPod.   Quote:   I have no...

Heh, I was kinda refering to both Android and iOS apps. There are some good ones, but most are just too much of a hassle for me to bother with.

Can anyone confirm whether Rockbox enables gapless playback (either by itself or with single music file + cue sheet support) on devices otherwise lacking it? Very interested in this in regards to the Cowon D3, at the moment.

Apps just run by themselves everytime you turn the D3 on? Or just after you you install them?   All that start-up stuff sounds annoying, but tolerable. And I'm not overly concerned with apps because most of them I find useless or irritating to use anyway. Even things like Pandora Radio seem...
